Files changed by the diff.gz in ubuntu vs. in debian

r.rublack, thank you for your work on this. I picked up the ball and moved it a little further. I hope I understood you correctly, please correct me if I did not.

Both debian and ubuntu take (of course) the same xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.6.3.orig.tar.gz with md5sum of 57f751611bc195b094772493f3ec50ba and then each apply their own diff.gz to it before compilation and packaging. With the help of lsdiff I inspected what files were being changed by those diff.gz and then compared the results between debian and ubuntu. Please find the result in the attachment.

ubuntu creates a number of patches named 10*.diff which are missing from the patched debian source tree. I believe that most likely one of those patches is responsible for the ubuntu package working as expected and the debian package failing to do so.
